Grab a rotisserie chicken and remove all the meat, making sure to avoid cartilage and bones.

Shred the chicken into big chunks or leave larger pieces if preferred.

In a mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken.

Add 8 ounces of softened cream cheese to the bowl.

Add 4 ounces of sour cream.

Add 1/4 cup of ranch dressing.

Pour in 1 cup of your favorite hot sauce (using Frank's today).

Add 1/4 cup of chopped roasted red peppers.

Add 1 teaspoon of hot cherry pepper spread for added heat.

Season with a healthy pinch of salt and fresh cracked pepper.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of granulated onion and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika.

Mince and add 5 cloves of garlic to the mixture.

Mix all the ingredients well until combined.

Grate 1/2 cup each of mild cheddar and pepper jack cheese (using blocks, not pre-shredded).

Add the grated cheese to the mixture, reserving some for topping later.

Transfer the mixture to an 8x8 baking dish and smooth it out.

Top with the reserved cheese.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Bake for about 25 minutes until the top is browned and bubbling.

Place a tray underneath the baking dish to catch any overflow.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving with chips.
